How to Escape the Rat Race WITHOUT Quitt...

ERIKA DE PELLEGRIN
About this episode

Do you feel trapped in a 9-5 you dread, dreaming of escaping the rat race but can’t afford to quit your job? I've been there. It's a downward spiral of low self value and constant questioning of your life's purpose - you feel like your soul is being chipped away by the minute.


In this podcast, I'm going to walk you through a 6 step process that will change how you view your job to create a life you love—without even having to leave your current job. I’m going to share with you how I went from feeling unsatisfied and stuck in my job as a corporate lawyer, to finding & completely changing how I felt about my career. You don't need to feel stuck because of a job you don't love. Reframing how you think & feel about it is your key.
